Re: displaced
Of course you have rights. If you are in legitimate need of assistance because of injury, she can divorce you, but she'll have to contribute to your care. In order to be more precise, I need to know lots of things, like: length of marriage, children, assets, incomes, debts, retirements, worker's comp awards, Social Security disability status, etc. You can call me at 860-233-6336 or we can exchange by email.
